ALEXANDRIA, VA (Jan. 7, 2008) — In an assertive move to secure a significant level of member agency benefits on car rentals, Vacation.com® has entered into an exclusive global partnership with The Hertz Corporation, ending its preferred supplier relationships with all other car rental companies worldwide, effective immediately.

The exclusive preferred supplier agreement between Vacation.com and Hertz will allow for a greater market share shift by members in exchange for agency incentives, greater discounts, special coupons and exclusive quarterly promotions that will only be available to Vacation.com members.

“This new exclusive alliance gives our members a clear competitive advantage,” noted Steve Tracas, president and CEO, Vacation.com. “By focusing our members’ sales efforts on one quality car rental company, we are opening the door to a new level of benefits. This positions Hertz as the gold standard of our key partnerships,” said Tracas.

As part of the exclusive partnership, Vacation.com members will offer clients savings of up to 20% on Hertz rentals, plus a variety of additional values tailored to the needs of their customer. Deeper discounts, special features such as SIRIUS Satellite Radio or Hertz NeverLost® navigation system, and special Fun Collection values are but some of the enhanced features. “Special values for both leisure renters and business customers has elevated our relationship with our preferred car partner, Hertz, to a new level based on this exclusive arrangement,” notes Tracas.

Vacation.com members will also enjoy exclusive quarterly promotions, providing unique agency incentives as well as the ability to offer clients better car rental rates and perks than they can find elsewhere.
